It’s been awhile since I’ve done a Hubris specific class post. When I was writing the Klind enemies, I had envisioned an exile type class, but cut it due to the book already being fucking huge and I wanted to move it forward.

You hail from the Blighted Sands (Hubris, pg 60) from the Klind Empire. Your people worship the Serpentine God of Depravity, Set (Hubris, pg 211) and you hail from his lineage. You are no priest of Set (Hubris, pg 304), but your face is snake-like, your body sculpted and lithe, your long arms end in slender lengthened fingers, almost like spider legs.

You are considered unnatural by your people. You were born with the ability to use a gift that is not yours, rivaling those of the Sex Prophets or the Flesh Weavers. You are feared and shunned by your people, hated and persecuted.

You have struggled for years, living in brutal conditions, surviving off the scraps you can find. Well no more. You have killed one considered your “better” and stolen their Bio-Organic Armor (Hubris, pg 304) and have left Klind to forge a better life.

Servants of the Empire hunt you, wishing to wipe your existence from the world of Hubris. You can never stop; you can never rest. You have no people you can call your own. You are forever alone; forever exiled.

Hit Points: 1d8

Weapon Training: A Klind Exile is trained in the use of bolas*, crossbow, dagger, dart, hand crossbow*, kukri, shortbow, short sword, throwing knives, and spiked chain*. Klind Exiles tend to wear light or no armor as it impedes their ability to invoke passion or weave flesh (see below). Their bio-organic armor does not affect their roll.
*Weapons in the Hubris campaign setting (see equipment, pg 54).

Alignment: The very essence of the Klind and of Set is suffused with chaos. While you may be exiled from your people, the chaos courses through your veins.

Lithe and Agile: Klind are lithe and agile creatures, full of grace and ease. All Agility-based tests (not attacks) and Reflex saves are rolled one step higher on the die ladder. Klind Exiles also have the Move Silently and Backstab skill of a Thief (DCC, pg 38) of equal level and alignment.

Ample Survivor: A Klind Exile has learned to survive on their wits and ability to be quick with a blade. When fighting with simple blades (i.e., throwing blades, daggers, and the kukri), the Klind Exile is treated as if they have a 16 in Agility for the purpose of two-weapon fighting (DCC, pg 94). The Klind is quick to act, when fighting with this type of weapon they add their Luck modifier (if positive) to their Initiative roll).

Claws: A Klind retractable razor-sharp claws that deal 1d6 damage. A Klind is never considered unarmed.

Abhorrent Creature: You have somehow have been blessed, or cursed, depending on your point of view, with a small amount of ability to use the alluring abilities of the Sex Prophet (Hubris, pg 302) or weave the flesh of others, same as the Klind Flesh Weavers (Hubris, pg 303). This is seen as an affront to the will of Set and the hierarchy of the Klind themselves.

A player makes this choice at first level. Once made it cannot be undone.

The Prophet: A Klind Exile that has the ability of the Prophet can summon forth intense emotions of passion and lust in those around them. The Klind Exile must roll a 1d20+Personality Modifier+Klind Exile level and consult the able below.

On a failed save the target rolls all physical rolls one step lower on the die ladder. This lasts for a number of rounds equal to your level. The targets are allowed a Fort save (DC 8+Klind Exile’s level) to avoid this.

You are able to cause the ﬂesh of one target within 15’ to meld together. Their legs fuse together and their hands become large balls of blistered ﬂesh. They must make a DC 12 Agility test or fall prone. Their movement is reduced to 10’. They drop whatever items they are holding and are unable to use their hands. This lasts a number of rounds equal to your level. The target is allowed a Fort save (DC 8+Klind Exile’s level) to avoid this.

You are able to cause the ﬂesh of two targets to meld together. The targets can be no further than 20’ away from you. Their legs fuse together and their hands become large balls of blistered ﬂesh. They must make a DC 14 Agility test or fall prone. Their movement is reduced to 10’. They drop whatever items they are holding and are unable to use their hands. This lasts for a number of rounds equal to your level. The targets are allowed a Fort save (DC 8+Klind Exile’s level) to avoid this.

eyeballs to seal, nose and mouth to become covered with skin growth, etc. A target can last a number of rounds equal to their Stamina score before needing to make a DC 16 Fort save. A failed save means the target has died from suﬀocation. The player can come up with other amusing situations and the Judge and the player can discuss the outcome. This last for a number of rounds equal to your level. The target is allowed a Fort save (DC 8+Klind Exile’s level) to avoid this.

Damaged Bio-Organic Armor (Type I): You stole another Klinds bio-organic armor before fleeing your homeland. In the scuffle to relieve the Klind of their armor, it was damaged and cannot be repaired. The armor grants +3 to AC, suffers -0 to check penalty and has a d8 Fumble Die.

When taking damage, make a Luck roll. If successful, you ignore 1 point of damage (even magical). At night when sleeping in your armor, make a Luck roll. If successful, the armor heals you, restoring 1 HP per hour. While in the suit you do not need to consume more than 2 cups of water every 8 hours. You can see in low-light in a 30’ radius, and can breathe in a sandstorm up to 1 hour.

Hunted: You are a mistake that should be cleansed from Hubris. A small detachment of Klind is attempting to track you to bring you back to Klind, so you may be sacrificed on the altar to Set. Even if you kill the ones after you, you know there will always be more. This is your curse to bare.

Info on the Klind

Taken from Hubris, pg 66.

The Klind are a race of humanoids devoted to their serpentine god, Set. They seek to dominate Hubris and bring all into Set’s fold, either through conquest, corruption, or as a suitable sacrifice.
For over 300 years the Klind have schemed, fought, and plagued Hubris. Most people of Hubris have only heard of the Klind whispered as frightening tales, from the safety of their homes or taverns. The true visage of a Klind, armored in their bio-organic suits, with bizarre and dangerous weapons, marching ceaselessly across the territories of Hubris in search of slaves and sacrifices is not something that can be accurately captured in story.
The capital of the empire is built around the Great Ziggurat of Depravity where sacrifices of the pitiful and unworthy are made to satiate the hunger of Set. The Venomous Red Scales are the elite guard to the High Priest of Set. These terrifying warriors police the streets, gather those suitable for sacrifice, and carry out the High Priest’s wishes. While risky and dangerous, outsiders still come to Klind to trade or search for treasures in the Blighted Sands.
